Prepare the court documents
You'll need
- An Application Response (Form F32) (PDF)
- An Affidavit (Form F30) (PDF)
- Every other document you'll be referring to at the hearing and that hasn't already been filed
- A Financial Statement (Form F8) (PDF) and related documents, if required
If you oppose the application
You'll have 14 business days to file your response documents at the court registry and have them served on the other person.
For help writing the Affidavit, see:
- Checklist of information to include in an affidavit or bring to court,
- How do you write an affidavit?, and
- Write an affidavit.
For help filling out a Financial Statement (if the other person's applying to change an order for child or spousal support), see:
The forms contain technical instructions to help you fill them out. For more help using the forms, see:
If you don't oppose the application
If you don't oppose the application and you're willing to agree to the other person's requests without going to court, tell them that they can tell the judge that the application is not opposed. Generally, the judge will make the order the other person's asking for.
Or you can choose to follow the procedures to get a consent order.
